HIERNAMAALS • HEREAFTER

Exhibition of land-related artworkSite_Specific

The theme of this year's Woordfees is 'HEMELS' = 'Heavenly'. This implies a hereafter, something that has died, or has been lost - at the very least, transformed from an earthly state. Thus the theme of Hiernamaals • Hereafter is this transience of the natural world. It is a requiem, a song of mourning (or maybe a wish, a memory). Art may not be able to save the world, but it can honour and protest against an inevitable process of forgetting.

Site_Specific, South Africa's International Land Art Biennial will take place in Plettenberg Bay from 10 - 17 August 2013. Hiernamaals • Hereafter - an exhibition of land-related artwork during the Woordfees (1 - 10 March) in Stellenbosch aims to raise awareness and funds for this important cultural event. From 1 - 3 March the Site_Specific team will also be creating a land art installation in the grounds of the Sasol museum.
